JAMES 1 1. COTlllllETb, OF RDGMIAN, NORTH GATEULIJEIA, AESTGNUR TO CONNER WHITE BURNER.

Application filed @ctober 26, 1925".

The present invention relates to burners the cap 21 which provides a chamber above and particularly to burners for use in the consumption of kerosene or other inflammable oils. This invention also contenniilatcs the inclusion of tl'iese burners in a system.

()bjects of the invention are to p11 do a system and a burner connected therein by which a more economical comlnistimi of the oils used therewith may be effected.

Other obje are dependability, simplicity of operation the elii'nination of wicks and sparks with the attending dilliculties arising therefrom.

A further object is to provide a burner which is adapted to various conditions and which may be used in connection with the ordinary cooking stove or heating" stove.

Other objects are cheapness of manufacture and cleanliness.

Still further objects and advantages will appear from the sub 'oinin r specification and claim, and I do not wish to be limited in the scope of my invention except as T shall be limited by said claim.

In the drawings which constitute a part of this specification Figure 1 is an elevation of one form of burner, parts being broken away to show the internal construction thereof.

Figure 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows and further illustratingv the construction of the burner and the relation thereof to the preheating coils.

Referring to the drawings the burner illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 constitutes an annular body 15 that is circumferentially substantially ii-shaped in cross section and included therewith is a circular plate 16 formed with and between the circumferenti ally substantially ti-shaped in cross section portion, the plate having a circular aperture 17 therein in which is located a nipple 18 threadedly connected in said aperture. The plate 16 is provided adjacent its outer edge with a circumferential chamber 19 which is adapted to receive a priming charge of oil to be used in starting the burner. The ch amber 19 is provided with an outer wall that is flared outwardly by rounding the inner face of the outer wall thereof accordingly.

The plate is provided at the inner periphery of the channel 19 with a downwardly inclined flange having; a recess which forms an annular shoulder 20 providing a seat for going description.

the plate 16, the side walls of which are provided with annular rows of perforations 22 and are curved at their juncture with the top thereof. The top portion of the cap is iinperforate except for two openings 24 and which are threaded to receive the threaded ends of parallel. pipes 26 and 27, the former being connected through an elhow 528 with a coil 29 arranged around and extending above the cap 21 for disposal above the channel. 19.

The opposite end of the coil 29 is connected through an elbow 30 with the pipe 27 which in turn connected with a supply pipe 13 leading from the supply tank. The pipe 26 forms a connection with a conduit 3.1 leading through a right angled shaped shouldered member and is in communication with the discharge nozzle 33, the discharge aperture 341 of which is controlled by a valve 35. The discharge aperture is concentrically arranged relative to the nipple 18 whereby the preheated and vaporized fuel is discharged against the imperfora'te surface of the plate which acts as a battle to deflect the vapor sidewise in all directions and through the perforations 22 in the side walls.

The construction of this device it is believed will be understood from the fore- V The operation is however, as follows When it is desired to use the burner as above described for heating a priming charge of oil. or alcohol is placed in the channel 19 and lighted, the valve 35 remain ing closed until the oil in the coil 29 has been raised to a vaporized temperature whereupon the valve is opened and the vaporized oil will be forced through the aperture 34: into the interior of the cap 21, pass ing out through the apertures in the side walls and taking fire from the fuel in the channel 19. The preheating of the oil in the coils from this point on is incident to the continuous"binning of the flame fed from the burner.

It is thoughtirom the foregoing description thatthe advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make chan es in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall Within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described my invention, what I A liquid fuel burner comprising a body, annularin formation and being circumferentially substantially V-shaped in cross section, a circular plate included in said body and being disposed between the circumferentially V-shaped in cross section portion, said plate having a centrally disposed opening therein, a nipple threadedly secured in the opening and depending from said plate,

said body being provided with a circum- 'ferential channel having its outer wall rounded outwardly for flaring the same accordingly, a downwardly inclined flange formed with the periphery of said plate and being recessed to provide a shoulder, a cap mounted on the shoulder and cooperating with the downwardly inclined flange to provide the inner wall for the channel, said cap being provided with perforations iu the side wall thereof, a pair of pipes arranged in parallelism and passing through the top wall of the cap and plate respectively, a coil disposed about and above the *ap and arranged above the channel, said coil having its ends disposed in communication with said pipes, a right angled shaped shouldered member depending from the plate and provided with a conduit in communication with one pipe, a nozzle formed with the member, a valve for controlling the nozzle, said nozzle being disposed concentric with the nipple, and the other pipe being in comnninication with a source of fuel supply.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

JAMES H. CONNER.
